Description

Two warring families in fair Verona - The Montagues and the Capulets - struggle to settle an age old feud.

Classics Illustrated tells this wonderful tale in colourful comic strip form, offering an excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also includes a biography of William Shakespeare, theme discussions and study questions, which can be used both in the classroom or at home to further engage the reader in the work at hand.
